Many publications, pictures, and movies often use dark color to pictured outer space. In a contrary, a study in 2002 said that the average color of the universe is a slight beige-ish white. The Washington Post published an article about the discovery and asked people to help named the color. Peter Drum submitted a coffee-like names, because the color shown on the newspaper that he read resembles the color of latte he had that time. Thus the color Cosmic Latte was born.

When asked about the color of the sun, many people will describe the color by yellow or orange. Many movies or pictures also project the sun by tinted it slightly reddish or yellowish. It is not entirely wrong, since green, blue, and violet are dispersed in the atmosphere, making the sun appears like what we see right now. But, when viewed above the Earth’s atmosphere, the sun is actually white.
